Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9 Verse 5 भगवद् गीता अध्याय 9 श्लोक 5 न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम्। भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः।।9.5।। हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 9.5) ।।9.5।।यब सब संसार मेरे अव्यक्त स्वरूपसे व्याप्त है। सम्पूर्ण प्राणी मेरेमें स्थित हैं परन्तु मैं उनमें स्थित नहीं हूँ तथा वे प्राणी भी मेरेमें स्थित नहीं हैं -- मेरे इस ईश्वरसम्बन्धी योग(सामर्थ्य)को देख सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंको उत्पन्न करनेवाला और उनका धारण? भरणपोषण करनेवाला मेरा स्वरूप उन प्राणियोंमें स्थित नहीं है। Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary Neither should it be assumed that all beings are within the Supreme Lord because if one were to think that His all pervasiveness and support of all beings is now being contradicted it is not the case. Anticipating such a doubt Lord Krishna states: pasya me yogam aisvaram meaning behold His supernatural and unimaginable potency which is a divine mystery and arrangement making the impossible, possible. This is to say that since the grandeur and majesty of His mysterious omnipotence is beyond the powers of the mind to fathom there is no contradiction whatsoever. Although the Supreme Lord is the bhuta-bhrt or sustainer of all living entities and the bhuta-bhavanah or protector of all living entities, He is na bhuta-stah meaning He is not subject to them. Although continuously maintaining and nourishing and guarding and protecting the Supreme Lord being free from any sense of ego consciousness unlike the embodied atma or soul which while maintaining and protecting its individual body becomes attached to it due to its sense of ego consciousness. Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary Even though all beings abide within the Supreme Lord they do not get attached to the Supreme Lord through their sense faculties. He is not seen with the eyes or heard with the ears. The Moksa Dharma states: The Supreme Lord is only known through intuition. Even though all beings reside in Him and He influences all beings by His manifestation of paramatama or the supreme soul within all beings, He is not attached to them by any ego sense so He is not a part of them. His manifestation of paramatma in all living entities is His tanscendental body with form and consciousness. One should not assume that Lord Krishna has a body of inert matter like we do. Lord Krishnas body is sat-cit-annanda completely full of eternity, wisdom and bliss. There is no difference between His body and paramatma. Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary Lord Krishna states unequivocally na bhuta-stah meaning that He does not derives any support whatsoever from the myriads of unlimited created sentient and insentient beings. He is supremely independent and He specifically states that He is not upheld by them in any manner like that of a vessel upholding water. It is by His will alone that He supports and energises all existence. Just marvel on the wonder of His yoga aisvaram or divine supernatural power which is so fantastic and phenomenal and which there is no comparison in any form any where else in the past, present or future. What is this divine, supernatural power which is so mysterious that it controls, organises and directs all of creation with natural perfection. The word mamatma means by His own soul being for Him paramatma the Supreme Soul residing in all beings and this opulent of abundance constitutes the power of His will which alone is the cause of all existence. So He is bhuta- bhrt or the support of all existence and bhuta-bhavanah the protector of existence or that by which an order of existence is established. In the next verse an example will be given to emphasise how all things depend upon Lord Krishnas will for their existence.
